Genesis 24:12-20

12And he saidH559, Jehovah, 1GodH430 of my masterH113 AbrahamH85, meet me, I pray thee, [with thy blessing] this dayH3117, and deal kindly with my masterH113 AbrahamH85.

13Behold, I standH5324 [hereH2009] by the well of waterH4325, and the daughtersH1323 of the menH376 of the cityH5892 comeH3318 out to drawH7579 waterH4325.

14And let it come to pass, [that] the maiden to whom I shall sayH559, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drinkH8354, and who will sayH559, DrinkH8354, and I will giveH8248 thy camelsH1581 drinkH8354 alsoH1571, beH1961 she whom thou hast appointedH3198 for thy servantH5650 IsaacH3327; and hereby I shall knowH3045 that thou hast dealt kindly with my masterH113.

15And it came to pass before he had endedH3615 speakingH1696, that behold, Rebecca came out, who wasH1961 bornH3205 to BethuelH1328, sonH1121 of MilcahH4435 the wifeH802 of NahorH5152, Abraham's brotherH251; and [she had] her pitcher upon her shoulderH7926.

16And the maiden was veryH3966 fair in countenance; a virginH1330, and no manH376 had knownH3045 her. And she wentH5927 downH3381 to the well, and filledH4390 her pitcher, and cameH5927 up.

17And the servantH5650 ranH7323 to meet her, and saidH559, Let me, I pray thee, sip a littleH4592 waterH4325 out of thy pitcher.

18And she saidH559, DrinkH8354, my lordH113! And she hasted and let down her pitcher on her handH3027, and gave him to drinkH8354.

19And when she had givenH8248 him enough to drinkH8354, she saidH559, I will drawH7579 [waterH8248] for thy camelsH1581 alsoH1571, until they have drunkH8354 enough.

20And she hasted and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ranH7323 againH5750 to the wellH875 to drawH7579 [waterH7579]; and she drewH7579 for all his camelsH1581.
